KT Cloud Expands Yeouido DC, Aiming to Become a Financial Infrastructure Hub
Located Adjacent to the Exchange, Enabling Ultra-Low Latency Trading
Additional Two Floors Secured, Targeting Completion by June Next Year
KT Cloud announced on July 10 that it will expand its 'Yeouido Data Center (DC)' and embark on building next-generation financial infrastructure to respond to changes in the financial market.
The Yeouido DC is a financial-specialized data center located near key financial institutions, including Korea Exchange (KRX). Based on its physical proximity to the exchange, it has a strategic advantage in handling latency-sensitive core financial operations. Currently, numerous major securities firms have established and are operating key systems at this location.
This expansion is a strategic investment to meet the rising demand for infrastructure amid changes in the financial market structure and the expansion of global investment. KT Cloud plans to strengthen its competitiveness as a financial-specialized data center by gradually expanding its infrastructure, including securing additional capacity across two floors, with completion targeted for June next year.
The company will also enhance its 'proximity server hosting' service, which leverages its location adjacent to the exchange. Through services such as cross-connect, One DC Network, Hyper Connectivity Exchange (HCX), and Clean Zone for DDoS response, KT Cloud will provide the connectivity and security required in the financial sector. In the future, it plans to expand financial-specialized services, including Time as a Service (TaaS).
